THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD IN MEMORIAM -J V. Has she really left us? Her eyes have closed, we no longer see her performing her duties in the same efficient, poised manner, yet her voice, once the bearer of helpful suggestions still continues to! be heard in the same role of teacher and counselor as we are faced with the problems which life presents. i Our scholastic standing was a secondary aim in her work. She tried to instill in our minds the necessity of forming strong characters and often quoted the proverb which she so faithfully lived up to. “To thine own self be true, and it must follow As the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man. ’ It is sad but true that all things in life that we truly love and ap¬ preciate must eventually be taken away or pass from our lives and so it is with Mrs. Leary. But even death cannot end her influence upon our thoughts and memories. Class of 1924. Two generations of High School students recognized and admired the striking personality of Mrs. Leary. Class of 1925. A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to accomplish. Class of 1926. Her speech and her manner won her great respect. Class of 1927. The loss of a friend is great indeed. Windsor Locks deeply feels that loss since Mrs. Leary has gone from among us. Her influence has been far reach¬ ing. It has gone deep into the lives of many young people whom she has guided in our high school. May her memory be ever sacred to the pupils to whom she gave much of herself to make the youthful tasks of life less difficult. Class of 1928. She was the proud possessor of many noble characteristics sel¬ dom found in any one person. Class of 1929. The memory of Mrs. Leary will ever remain in our hearts and mind. - Class of 1930. We shall always cherish the memory of Kathryn B. Leary, our teacher, for her help, sincere interest, and patience during our four years at the Wind¬ sor Locks High. , Class of 1931. And this our unvoiced psalm: May we greet her once more in the Great Reunion. ... Class of 1932. To the memory of our dear teacher whose spirit of gemerosity, loyalty and tolerance we trust will be remembered. Class of 1933„ In memory of her whose name will always stir in us a tender feeling of gratitude and appreciation for her untiring efforts so generously given in our behalf. Class of 1934. To those who knew her not Words cannot paint. To those who knew her well Words are too faint. Class of 1935. Her interest and cooperation in all our undertakings we sincere¬ ly appreciate. Class of 1936. Loved and respected by all who knew her.
